Analysis

OVERVIEW

SideShift is described as an instant, non-custodial swap with no account across 600+ pairs including XMR and ZEC, at a 1% fee with fixed or variable rate options.

LIMITS

Despite the no-KYC description, the platform's own guidance instructs strict adherence to OPSEC rules, including Tor access and paying with XMR, rather than presenting standard web access as sufficient on its own.

USEFUL FOR

Fits users willing to pair Tor access and XMR payment with a non-custodial swap service rather than relying on standard access alone.
